Bank-level security chips (CC EAL5+ certified) protect your assets from physical and digital threats.

Getting Started with Your Ledger Device

Setting up your Ledger device is straightforward. After unboxing, connect your device to Ledger Live via USB and follow the on-screen instructions. You'll create a PIN code to protect physical access to your device and generate a 24-word recovery phrase that serves as a backup to restore your accounts if your device is lost or damaged.

Important: Never share your recovery phrase with anyone. Ledger will never ask for this information. Store it securely offline.

Once setup is complete, you can install apps for specific cryptocurrencies, create accounts, and begin managing your digital assets with peace of mind.
